Could I be pregnant? Or is it an evap?

Hey, I’m a little confused at the moment. I’m not trying to get pregnant for various reasons. My breasts have been very sore since around 7-8dpo, I’ve been feeling sick to the point where if I laugh too much it’s as though I’m gonna vomit, I’ve been terribly moody, and also slightly constipated. I took a clear blue early detection test at 10dpo and it was negative.

For the sake of using the second one in the pack, I tested again today morning but I had to do it in secret because I didn’t want to get caught or leave any traces of the wrappers etc, I don’t think I waited long enough and quickly threw the test in the trash- it was blank at this point. A few hours later I checked and the line is there and it is blue, I don’t know if I didn’t wait long enough for the result or if it’s an evap, my period is due in two days. I feel as though I’m pregnant because my breasts never hurt this much usually. Any advice?

A line in a few hours is more likely to be an evap. Take another test when your period is a day overdue to be sure. Have you had a contraception failure or anything to make you think pregnancy is more likely this month?

You’ll need to take one and read it within the timeframe.

@Bumble84 thank you for your reply, I will retest in a few days. I did in fact have a contraception failure. It was my first sexual encounter and it fell right when I was most fertile- my body feels very different so I can’t help but think I’m possibly pregnant.

Try not to worry too much. Sometimes you can symptom spot and send yourself crazy. I’ve done this before when I didn’t want to get pregnant and then again when I did want to get pregnant! Our minds go into overdrive.

I’ve learned while trying to get pregnant that it’s actually not that easy for most! Wait a few days. If you are pregnant and really don’t want to be, remember there are always options.

@Bumble84 you’re absolutely right and thank you so much. I’ve got no one else to talk to because I come from a strict background and I wasn’t really supposed to be having sex anyway. If by some chance I am pregnant I would love to consider keeping it but my lifestyle really makes me feel like I don’t have a choice. It’s complicated

Hi there I was looking for some help. I stopped taking the pill in October and started bleeding 25th for 4/5 days, my periods are regular always between 28-32 days but I’m now 4 days late and I’ve taken 4 tests and all of them have been a BFN was wondering if anyone could give me some advice?
